The Wolves have 19 games left and sit in sole possession of 3rd place. If the season ended today we would have Home court advantage over Denver. Maybe we'd even have Jimmy back. But there is a lot of basketball to be played over the next 6-1/2 weeks.

The wolves have 26 losses (boy would I like to have a few of those bad losses back). The 6 teams behind us have between 25 and 27 losses. I don't remember the west being this tight before. We have 7 games left against potential playoff teams behind us, 2scheduled losses against Houston and golden state, 7 games we should win and 3 tough games against solid eastern teams (Philly, Boston & Washington) I've got us winning 9 of those games. Will that be enough for us to stay in the top 6 seeds?

I haven't really looked at the schedule on a game by game basis, but without our best player and with already one of the league's worst defenses, me thinks we are headed to the lottery again.
